It looks incredibly-- visually, and gameplay-wise. Pretty obviously hot off the heels of portal, though, but that's not a bad thing. The only thing I'm worried about is that there's a 100% chance that this'll get 'dumbed down' for consoles. I'm not sure if there'll be much lost, seeing the relative simplicity of the game, but the controls are still a huge potential fault. Context-sensitive things are reeeeally tough to do correctly, especially when they're as ubiquitous as they are here.
Well, I hope it's good. Looks like the next round of mega-games are starting up. Starcraft 2, Spore, and now this.

Don't really like the way the characters look, but the gameplay has potential.  I've always wanted a game where the view actually flips around with the character.

So its a Extreme jumping game?
Not bad, I'd give it like a 5 on graphics, and like a 4 out of 5 overall from what I've seen.

It looks very cool, but that's what worries me; hopefully not too much of it is pre-canned arcade sort of stuff.

It reminds me of urban ninjas, people who strafe jump in real life.

Parkour ftw.

Is the game just for console or will there be a PC release?  The game looks fun as hell.
